- Pharmacodynamics
Cefdinir is a third generation cephalosporin with a broad spectrum of activity against enteric gram-negative rods. Cefdinir is stable in the presence of some, but not all, b-lactamase enzymes. As a result, many organisms resistant to penicillins and some cephalosporins are susceptible to cefdinir. Cephalosporins work the same way as penicillins: they interfere with the peptidoglycan synthesis of the bacterial wall by inhibiting the final transpeptidation needed for the cross-links. This effect is bactericidal.
- Mechanism of action
As with other cephalosporins, bactericidal activity of cefdinir results from inhibition of cell wall synthesis by acting on penicillin binding proteins (PBPs).
Target Actions Organism APenicillin-binding protein 2 inhibitorNeisseria gonorrhoeae APBP3 inhibitorHaemophilus influenzae NMyeloperoxidase inhibitorHuman - Absorption
Maximal plasma cefdinir concentrations occur 2 to 4 hours postdose following capsule or suspension administration. Estimated bioavailability of cefdinir capsules is 21% following administration of a 300 mg capsule dose, and 16% following administration of a 600 mg capsule dose. Estimated absolute bioavailability of cefdinir suspension is 25%. Absorption is reduced by approximately 15% when administered with a high fat meal.
- Volume of distribution
- 0.35±0.29 L/kg [adult subjects]
- 0.67±0.38 L/kg [pediatric subjects (age 6 months to 12 years)]
- Protein binding
60%-70%, binding is independent of concentration.
- Metabolism
Cefdinir is not appreciably metabolized. Activity is primarily due to parent drug.
- Route of elimination
Cefdinir is not appreciably metabolized. Cefdinir is eliminated principally via renal excretion with a mean plasma elimination half-life (t½) of 1.7 (±0.6) hours.
- Half life
1.7 ± 0.6 hours
- Clearance
- renal cl=2 +/- 1 mL/min/kg [healthy]
- Toxicity
Information on cefdinir overdosage in humans is not available. In acute rodent toxicity studies, a single oral 5600-mg/kg dose produced no adverse effects. Toxic signs and symptoms following overdosage with other b-lactam antibiotics have included nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, diarrhea, and convulsions.
